The Calf and Foot Therapy is offered in Massage Chairs
Many massage chairs, in the present are equipped with massage for the foot and calf mechanism in their features. Certain chairs may only offer the ability to massage the calf, but the majority of them feature at least a lower extremity massage feature. The foot and calf massage mechanisms are commonly referred to as an ottoman.

Different types of Ottomans in Massage Chairs
Some ottomans include the calf and foot massage mechanism integrated and connected as one unit, such as the Actouch Human Touch HT-9500 Massage Chair and the Omega Aires, but others include the foot separate from the massager for the calf making it easier for those who are taller to extend their legs. This is done by flattening the foot area of the ottoman and making it identical to the massager that is for the calves. One example of massager that has both calf and foot parts is one like the Panasonic 30007. The drawback with this particular type of use for this type of foot massager would be that it will end up massaging the ankles’ sides and calfs of its user.

Inada discovered a pleasant middle by constructing the “accordion-like” attachement between feet and calves massagers. This allows the taller person to extend their legs while the foot massager extending parallel to the calf massager.

The vast majority of massagers for the feet and calf use airbags for the massage effect. Every manufacturer has their unique setup of airbags, which gives them a distinct feel, however the fundamental premise of each massager for the foot and calves is that airbags press the feet and calves in a variety of ways. A certain amount of compression occurs at once, and others are inflated in a sequential manner to make it feel like that the bags are “rolling” across and down the legs.

Very few massage chair models actually boast rollers inside the bottoms of feet. Therefore, the feet get the same type of treatment as the back gets with standard back rollers. I’m assuming that that the Elite Optima and one of the King Kong chairs have the foot rollers, in addition to the airbags. Human Touch claims that their massage chair HT-9500 includes “paddles” inside the ottoman which give an incredibly unique feeling when you sit in that chair. The chair, to my mind from the numerous chairs I’ve been in, is the most effective foot and calf massager out of all the massage chairs we’ve ever seen. It’s a great massage experience that will pamper your feet.
